The Current Evolution of the car is a collaboration between original owner Lee Clary and Paul Becker of SVP Unlimited and currently serves as SVP Unlimited's shop car. The car was purpose built to compete in the MM&FF Triathlon shootout where you had to compete in 3 events: 1/4 mile, road course and skid pad. In road race trim the car has run 12.90 in the 1/4 mile.  The car is known as the Evolution SVO for it's many changes over the years' first appearing as the cover car for MM&FF in 1995 to the 2.3 Shootout feature in 2002. The car is street legal although it does attract a lot of attention from passing law enforcement officials.

My shop is SVP Unlimited www.svpu.com and we specialize in Mustangs from 1964 1/2 to present. Stock or modified. SVP Unlimited was founded in 1999. We worked to keep forgotten performance Ford products on the road. SVPU kept many Used, NOS, Reproduction, and Performance part upgrades for Mustang SVO's Lincoln Mark VII, and many other Ford products. We originally sold parts via mail order but Our primary business has changed to everything from Full Restoration to Hot Rodding of your vehicle. As a result our parts offering has been trimmed down and we have implemented a new shopping cart feature to make ordering easy. Quite a few of our cars and customer cars have been featured in magazines in the past, look for more in future issues. Feel free to contact us any time with questions about anything you see listed on the web page, or, anything you don't see on the web page that you would like to see.
